The phrase ‘soft skills’ is often used to describe the skills which characterise relationships and other people, or how you approach interactions.

For many people, the so-called soft skills are often some of the most diffi cult skills to develop. Job-re-lated expertise (hard skills) are essential in any profession. However, over the last 10 years, under-standing has grown that perhaps soft skills may ul-timately be more important in determining levels of success.

Hard skills are a basic minimum necessity in order to operate in a particular workplace. Whether or not you are successful in your career may depend on how developed your soft skills are.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARNT R A I N I N G & D E V E L O P M E N T

01TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT: OVERVIEWMost organisations are aware of this requirement and invest eff ort and other resources in training and development. Such investment can take the form of employing specialist training and developing staff and paying salaries to staff undergoing training and development.

02ASSESSING TRAINING NEEDS

Using a TNA (Training Needs Assessment) helps you identify skill gaps within your team, so that you can fi ll these gaps in a way that links training with departmental and organisational objectives. A needs assessment/survey helps an organisation achieve its goals.

03CONSIDERING LEARNING STYLES AND PERSONALITIESEvery individual has his own preferred way of learning compared to others, therefore it is important to the trainers and educators to understand various styles of learning so that they will be able to eff ectively engage in transferring knowledge and skills.

04TRAINING PLAN DEVELOPMENT

A training plan is a detailed document that guides the planning and delivery of instruction. Whether training people one-on-one or in groups, in person or online, a well-developed training plan allows you to prepare for and deliver thorough and eff ective classes.


05TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT METHODSTraining has always been more of an art than science. Despite the availability of training aids, it remains the prerogative of the trainer on using the best method to facilitate training. The broad factor guiding the selection of methods is the focus of learning.

07 08EVALUATE TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

MENTORING AND COACHING

The purpose of training is to change employees: their behaviour, knowledge, or level of skill. The purpose of evaluation is to determine whether the objectives were met and whether changes have taken place. There is a need for organisations to focus on this area of the training.

Eff ective coaching is based on building positive working relationships and exercising personal infl uence with your employees. These eff orts are what stimulate the development of mutual trust. It is a set of behaviours and skills that managers should use directly with their employees.

06IMPLEMENTING TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENTTraining is an investment whose results are not evident immediately. Once objectives have been set, the trainer can start identifying various methods of implementation. There are a large number of training methods available at the disposal of the trainer.


THE BENEFITS OF

ONLINE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Forget about attending classes for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, and suffering from back pain by the end of the day. You will not be bound to physical class sessions when you opt for online education. All learning materials are provided online, so you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your office or home.

COMFORT

A self-paced system enables learners to make progress with a rhythm that suits them. This does not require attending live sessions; you can access the materials at any time that works for you. If you have to work or take care of your home and children during the day, you can study at night. That’s an advantage the traditional educational system cannot beat.

SELF-PACED LEARNING

The fact that online programs are cheaper when compared to the ones held in a traditional campus setting is enough to convince you to consider them. The average tuition for online courses depends on multiple factors, so it varies from one program to another. Note, free courses don’t usually come with a certificate of completion.

LOWER COSTS

It doesn’t matter where your career stands at this moment; completed programs will always look good on your résumé. It will show potential employers that you’re committed to learning and that you’re eager to obtain more knowledge and new skills. You will certainly become a better candidate for a job promotion.
